Helmut Berger (1944-2023) … I remember you, around my 5 years old, visiting a friend in our house. 20 years later we met once during a Mediterranean night in September, without any hello or other words you told me “ I’ve got many more remembers about parties than about cinema. So don’t make me feel uncomfortable about the past, anyway it would take me two or three thin lines to write it to you…. Find me pen and paper before the sun wake up and let’s enjoy our mutual friends and the party.”… I don’t remember how many sun woke up, how many moon disappear in the morning light. But what I remember as a fact is when I came to you with the paper and the pen before I really left the house. You just wrote “ we are real gentlemen so I keep the… “ I suppose it must has been “ … second one for me” but you cut the paper and gave me just the one line without the end of the sentence. It happened a bit more than 10 years ago, in a restaurant in St Tropez then in a private house. #helmutberger #saintropez #sainttropez #remembers #lecrépusculedesdieux #cinema #party #beyondthescale #twolines #gentlemen #southoffrance
